AMONG THE CANNIBALS.
A Travvler'a Kxpvrlvnve With the
Man Haters of West Africa.
Mr. P. A. McCann has hnd 10 years
actual residence in west Africa. Mr
McCann's seven years’ trading and resi¬
dence with the cannibal tribes of the
French Gaboon probably form the most
exciting part of his experiences. He got
friendly with them uud thoroughly
stndied their habits and customs. They
quite believed that the white men ate
white men as they themselves eat their
fellow blacks. A big chief offered Mr
McCann the smoked thigh of a native.
This was considered a gracious act. To
refuso it would be unfriendly. Mr. Mo-
Cann was in a dilemma.
Hut ho feigned illness, said he was
not eating juHt then. Tho chief eventu¬
ally put the matter off good naturedly
by saying he supposed tho white man
preferred white man to eut instead of
black man. "Tho Mpongwes," said Mr
McCann, “are iii ferocious anil pugna¬
cious qualities second to no other tribe
in Africa. Their villages mostly consist
of a single street from 600 to 1,600
yards long, on each side of which are
tho houses. In these houses they cook,
eut and sleep uud keep their store of
provisions, the chief of which is smoked
gnmo und smoked human flesh, hang
up to the rafters.
“Although ferocious and quarrelsome
to a degree, they are very industrioaa.
They show considerable skill in the
manufacture of pottery, and the designs
of their cooking water jars, to¬
bacco pipes and palm wine bottles are
extremely artistic. In ironwork they
aro also skillful workers. Although they
kill game for food, they much prefer
human meat to any other."—London
